Enabling the Optical Module Alarm Threshold Standardization Function

The system automatically obtains the vendor-defined power threshold of an optical module and compares it with the actual power. If the actual power exceeds the vendor-defined threshold, an alarm will be generated. However, the vendor-defined power threshold of an optical module may not meet user requirements. If the alarm standardization function is enabled, a unified power threshold is used, and the threshold is calculated based on the optical module transmission distance and bandwidth.

The device has two types of optical module power alarms: warning and alarm. A warning is reported when the difference between the actual power and vendor-defined threshold is not great. It can also be considered as a precaution. Some optical modules can continue working properly when the actual optical power is at the warning level. You can disable warning detection as required.
